New Overwatch hero unveiled

News

Blizzard has revealed the 22nd character that will become a part of the Overwatch roster, a support sniper by the name of Ana.

Not only can she restore the health of allies, but she’s apparently the world’s best sniper and can take down a foe or two as well. Her four special abilities are: Biotic Rifle (fires darts that can restore health or deal damage to enemies over time), Sleep Dart (renders enemies unconscious for a period of time, but damage wakes them), Biotic Grenade (deals damage to enemies, who can’t be healed for a few moments, and heals allies), and Nano Boost (temporarily boosts the speed and damage of an ally).

Ana isn’t actually available to use in the main game just yet; she can only be accessed in the Public Test Realm.

Two trailers have been released to drum up interest in Ana’s release, which is expected in the near future.
